Sykes over Massengo a much better player, the real conundrum is how to get Wilson Scott & Sykes in the starting 11. It can't be done in the current formation has to ne a 4-3-3.

No just tell him until he manages a team with a limited budget and not the richest in their particular league with all the best players he's completely overrated.

One that's probably going to lose us the game when Massengo plays the midfield is always lost and that iinvariably means the game is ultimately lost,but it seems no other options are available so let's hope tonight's game is the exception to the rule.

We're not going to get battered by Luton it will be a comfortable win by at least 2 goals in fact I think after the next 2 games City will be on 7 points. With Weimann continuing like last season Semenyo to come back and Scott, Naismith, and Williams can't stay out of form indefinitely things aren't nearly as bad as some are suggesting or even wanting it seems.

Norwich are bottom of the league did the bookmakers forecast that? This club really has the worst most negative pessimistic fans in the country or anywhere else for that matter.

Kindly **** off and support another club FLOWER

So are many others in the team that's why they're not very good. Sell Scott to fund better players but I guess you'll moan at that too

What exactly were you expecting when you know there's no money to bring in replacements who are significantly better so logically it is going to be roughly the same is it not.

I'm sure he knows the midfield is poor but it's well documented he has no money to spend.The solution is to sell Scott to fund new signings but the usual suspects who moan at everything will accuse the club of having no ambition and selling our best players the usual diatribe you get from City fans but as I said its the only solution available.

The midfield is always non- existent when Massengo plays just don't rate him at all

He's not a defender though he's an attacking midfielder and should be played as one. Personally I would play a 4-3-1-2 formation with full backs that can defend.

Probably because he's not a defender

Have you or anybody else for that matter ever seen Bajic play?.

I think I've included his assists in my assessment of over 70 appearances in 3 seasons. If you think 1 or 2 suggests an outstanding performer that's up to you.

I assume you're referring to Massengo, Over 70 appearances 0 goals 1 assist he's not a strong tackler doesn't have a good passing range he's not quick or a goalscorer makes mistakes every game just what does he do to be rated so highly by some? Just cannot see it.

Kalas will hopefully be sold on recoup a small amount of the vast fee Chelsea managed to get(the term saw them coming springs to mind) from city. His performances have been ok or average for most of his time at the club, taking into account the fee and salary must rank as one of the worst signings in recent times.

I wouldn't say negative but lucky, The luck of the draw in 2 tournaments didn't have to beat too much to reach a final and a semi-final. Can he do it a third time? Who needs a good manager when you can have a lucky one.

Don't think the club should try hard to persuade him to stay apart from the season alongside Webster (which was on loan) he"s been average at best and poor on many occasions. Not been worth the fee or the salary maybe it would be good for both parties if he moved on.

Why! Is today going to be one of his 1 in 10 good performances?

Did you say that when Holden was manager and Johnson before that because a lot of City fans did(many on this forum). The expectations are too high given the players we attract and produce,the lower reaches of the Championship is the limit to what can be consistently achieved each season.

With the current squad avoiding a relegation battle is a successful season anything better is an exceptional season.And it looks like the former is achieved albeit with a bit of good fortune regarding points deductions the fans need to get realistic about where the club is at present.

How many of the clubs in the top half of this division would swap what they currently have for any of the above? very few if any at present.The three young players are just potential at this stage and woefully inconsistent in their performances the supporters of this club massively overrate our players every season, when you actually see them in action against opposition its a reality check.This squad of players regardless of the manager will not get anywhere near the top six, Yes Pearson's been largely disappointing but each week he invariably picks a team that's up against better opposition and sometimes they get a result but the majority of the time they won't.

The players in this City squad are bottom 6 Championship quality so they are not going to be better than most teams they play against,and most games they will struggle have you not worked that out yet?

Alex Scott has been consistently good Massengo is still having 1 decent game followed by 6 poor games. Frequently giving the ball away, stupid free kicks bad back passes and he was doing all of that 2 years ago,his game has not progressed very much at all.Another i wouldn't be disappointed to see move on at the end of the season.

If he was that good perhaps he would have inspired others to strive to reach his supposed level, Overrated for me clearly Webster made him look better than he actually is.
